Top Comedy Movies on Hulu
The Origin of Evil
The Origin of Evil is a 2022 French-Canadian thriller that follows a woman facing financial ruin who seeks out her estranged, affluent father and gets caught up in the problems of his new family. While the narrative is more suspenseful, the interactions with the new family members are quite funny.
Quasi
Quasi is a 2023 satirical comedy directed by Kevin Heffernan, featuring the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, known for films like Super Troopers. The film offers a humorous twist on Victor Hugo’s classic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. It follows Quasi Modo, a hapless hunchback who becomes entangled in a deadly feud between the Pope and the King of France, each ordering him to assassinate the other. There are plenty of laughs, and it’s also a bit nostalgic if you are a fan of the earlier films.
Fools Paradise
Fools Paradise is a satirical comedy that centers on a mute man, recently released from a mental health facility, who bears a striking resemblance to a method actor refusing to leave his trailer. A struggling publicist, portrayed by Ken Jeong, discovers this man and seizes the opportunity to propel him into stardom, leading to a series of comedic and satirical events that lampoon the entertainment industry.
The ensemble cast includes Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, Jason Bateman, Common, Ray Liotta, and John Malkovich. It’s packed with laughs, and it is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a funny comedy.
Self Reliance
Self Reliance is a 2023 American comedy thriller that follows Tommy Walcott (Jake Johnson), a man leading a mundane life until he receives an invitation from actor Andy Samberg (portraying himself) to participate in a dark web reality game in which he has to survive 30 days of assassins trying to kill him anytime he is alone. This unique condition naturally causes Tommy to seek constant companionship, which leads to some hilarious moments.
Self Reliance is great for moments when you want to kick back and get a little silly.
Sharp Stick
Sharp Stick is a 2022 American comedy that follows a naive 26-year-old living on the fringes of Hollywood with her mother. Looking for something more, she embarks on an affair with her older, married employer, which leads her on an unexpected journey. If you like an offbeat coming-of-age story, Sharp Stick is a must-watch.
